I can hear my neighbors especially when they are cleaning anything or taking a shower. I was in bed with earplugs and a fan on and I heard continious bangs from 7:00 until 9:30 this morning. And I am thinking, "Damn, how many showers are they taking? How much stuff can they possibly clean?" Then I heard some more continious bangs about 30 minutes ago. Had to get the hell out of there for a while. What should I do? Any suggestions on techniques to block out the noise? I never really wished that I was a deaf man before but...

In the nativity story the three wise men give Jesus Gold, Frankinsense and Myrrh. Why did he get Myrrh?

Thanks for answering! I'd prefer it in English, but no problem with Pilipino.

Ok a friend of mine saw my nativity scene on my buffet table and said it should not be displayed until Christmas Eve. Now I was like "What?...yeah right!". Ok because YAHOO has a lot of intelligent people out there...what are your thoughts on this...and do you believe this to be true? If it's a fact, can you back it with a source? My friend is Catholic...so I'm just wondering if this is some sort of catholic teaching. Nonetheless, I'm dying to know if this is true. I have just never heard of this.

Thank you - awaiting your response.

If you go to the bottom of the Y! Answers page and click on Australia, you will find almost no spelling errors or grammar errors. Of course, we all can see that almost half the questions in the American section are unreadable.


This is almost a joke - part truth - coming from an American.

God was totally and absolutely understanding to forgive everyone for their sins and allowed everyone into Heaven regardless of their screw ups. Even if they didn't follow Bibilic procedures. So Heaven would be filled with Jews, Muslims, Gays, Marilyn Mason and his band along with the Billy Graham types just like it is down on Earth. Would you be bummed out?

I recieved lots of answers about this from Muslims but none from Catholics - I would like their take on the questions:

Christians say Jesus is God - Muslims say Jesus was a prophet, ie only human
If both worship the same God how could there be a contradiction like this - if both the Bible and koran were inspired by the same mind of God how could there be this logical contradiciton in terms
ie A cannot be A and not A at the same time
how can Jesus be God and not God all at the same time
Both books claim to be the inspired Word of God and both teachings are very clear - no human misinterpretations on this one -

I have terrible 'Deja Vu' but im not sure if my mind is just playing tricks on me. None of my friends experience it as frequently as me. It really scares me so do you think it's real?

Days are getting longer now. Are there any
celebrations taking place?
Summer solstice is a reason for some people to
practicise several strange things.
Here in good old Germany, the witches come
to a special mountain-top to do their dance!
Women go around and cut the ties off of men`s
necks!
Days are getting shorter then, but they seem
to love it!

If you are at a restaurant and you are smoking when you leave there is no risk of hurting or killing anyone as you are driving home because of the cigarette. But someone who has been drinking with their meal has a greater chance of hurting or killing someone on their way home due to the drinks that they consumed. Also they keep adding more and more taxes to cigaretts but not to alcohol, what gives? Before you all start going off on me, I personally do not smoke, I quite four years ago.

My fiancee and me will get married next year. She's Christian, I'm Atheist.

Both of us don't mind whether or not the wedding will take place in a church. But it would make her mother happy.

So, I was wondering, isn't it some form of blasphemy if I would get married in a church?

I am in a old style country church. I'm getting ready to give my first sermon. My favorite preacher is there with me, and is suppose to introduce me as the preacher for that sunday. i have an empty glass in my hand from my house, and every time that I approach the altar to preach, i remember there are other things that have to happen first, (like announcements, singing, etc). Right as I finally get to actually go to the altar, they doors open and they wheel in two crippled girls in wheel chairs. I get very nervous for some reason and walk off to the left of the pulpit to read my notes while everyone is loving on the two children. While i'm looking for my notes in my bible, some dude is talking to me. He's saying how I have no business preaching, that I don't know my bible like I should. Then I lose my notes. I walk back up to my preacher and tell him i'm to freaked out to preach. He says he understands, and I leave. THoughts?

Romans 4

18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."[d] 19Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

How do you explain evidence of Glaciation in Israel during the Mid-Pleistocene era?
Why is there no mention of Glacial periods in the Bible.
Surely if the climate changed so radicaly that glaciers formed in Israel they'd be mentioned in the Bible, somewhere?

The actions and traces of glaciation are obvious and consistent worldwide and can be seen and studied today at current glaciation sites. They do not vary.

Could it be that the Geological time scale is correct and these Glaciers were in Israel about one million years ago?

I've asked this before and had no answers that made any sense. If it is over your heads then why are you trying to usurp logic and science?
